This has nothing to do with having a favourite editor or anything like that. I was just wondering, per language, what are the most popular Integrated Development Environments? Maybe a top 2-3 if there is some contention. (Perceived popularity is enough)

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

One way to treat this question would be to list one language/IDE pair per answer and let the # of upvotes gauge popularity.

If this is going to become a voting thing it should be Community Wiki

I agree that this should be community-wiki, not because it's a poll, but just because it's broad enough that it wouldn't make sense to have multiple answers for each language, so anyone should be able to edit them.
